I like being able to say what I want without being banned by a power-tripping mod
There’s currently nothing stopping a mod from creating a bot that deletes comments below certain threshold or that bans users for commenting on communities they don’t approve like they did on Reddit. Only site policies can prevent that.
Can site policies even affect that? From my understanding Lemmy/kbin is all decentralized unlike subreddits, so anyone can make and host their page for anyone and the only limit is legality and if they’re not black listed by other instances
Ugh… I remember the “Sorry you have been banned from…” messages, it was amusing when I was banned from subreddits I hadn’t heard of.
Thing is Reddit policies are supposed to make it so you can’t be banned from one subreddit for your reputation or behavior in another, I actually told a mod this and he just laughed at me.

Site policies can prevent that kind of behavior in that particular site. It’s better than nothing.
I hope this doesn’t become a bot driven cesspool like reddit
